McGiven Me A Chance

Anybody who has been out on loans as much as Ryan McGiven wants to make an impact to win a longer deal.

After wining a loan move to Easter Road till January, Ryan McGivern is not expecting to just walk into the first team. However, whenever he is given the nod, he is determined to grasp the opportunity to shine with both hands. McGivern's loan from Manchester City was set up at the end of the summer transfer window and he only met his Hibs team-mates on Thursday following international duty with Northern Ireland. He could make his debut today against Kilmarnock but knows that manager Pat Fenlon may not want to disrupt a side which has delivered a four-game unbeaten run. McGivern said: "I'm really excited. I'm glad to be here and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in now. It's going to be hard. I'm not expecting to go straight into the team. The team's done really well at the start of the season and I've got to earn my right to get in the team. Hopefully when the time comes I can do the stuff. I'm a left-back naturally and I can play left-sided centre half. I do like to get forward and hopefully I can bring a little bit of attack within the back four and get up and down and give the fans something to cheer about. Kilmarnock are a decent team, they won the league cup last season and I know the manager (Kenny Shiels) as well. Hopefully being at home we can get the right result and keep the unbeaten run going." Hibs were one of the relegation favourites last season but with Fenlon having a summer to get his squad re-aligned, Hibs fortunes have revived. McGivern went on: "We're joint second at the minute. Hopefully we can use that as a platform and kick on between now and the end of the season."
